CampusConnect AI - Alexa+ powered student assistant. One voice command to get timetable & deadlines.

Inspiration

What it does

CampusConnect AI is an Alexa+ MCP Server for students.

Problem: Students check multiple apps for timetable, deadlines & campus info.

Solution: Just say "Alexa, ask CampusConnect what's my day?" - Our MCP server provides timetable, assignment deadlines & exam dates in one voice reply.

Built with Python, MCP Protocol & Alexa Skills Kit.

Goal: Make student life hands-free & organized. Future plan: Add Google Calendar & WhatsApp alerts.

Created by

I built the entire CampusLink - Alexa+ Campus Companion project solo.

My contribution:
- Built Alexa Skill with ASK SDK - Created 5+ intents for timetable, attendance, library, events & results
- Developed MCP Server with 5 custom tools to connect college data
- Integrated Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) as AI brain for natural reasoning
- Hosted backend on AWS Lambda + DynamoDB for serverless scaling
- Created demo video, GitHub repo and Devpost submission

It was my first time using MCP and Bedrock with Alexa+. It was challenging to integrate MCP with Alexa+, but I learned a lot about voice AI agents and serverless architecture. This project solves real student problems - no more checking 5 different apps!

Tech: Alexa Skills Kit, AWS Lambda, Amazon Bedrock, MCP SDK, DynamoDB
